Bengals outside linebacker Vontaze Burfict did not practice on Friday marking the third straight day he did not take part in practice and as of noon there was still no announcement from the team that he had signed the contract extension that he and the team reportedly agreed to on Wednesday.

Burfict missed Wednesday's practice with what defensive coordinator Paul Guenther said was a, "stomach bug," but he was in the locker room before practice on both Thursday and Friday and he was on the field watching practice both days.

Whitworth and Atkins are both expected to start Sunday night's preseason game in Arizona.

Backup quarterback Jason Campbell also said he expects to play in that game after testing his right elbow during the week and cutting loose on Thursday. Campbell injured the elbow in the first preseason game in Kansas City and did not practice the following week or play in last Saturday's game against the New York Jets.
